Avitus Group

What Avitus Group does

Avitus Group, Inc. is a U.S. professional employer organization (PEO) and integrated business-services platform founded in 1996 and headquartered in San Ramon, California, with additional offices in Billings, Montana and San Diego, California. The company delivers a multidisciplinary suite of services organized around three pillars — Simplify (payroll, accounting, tax planning), Strengthen (human resources, co-employment, safety and risk management), and Grow (recruiting, managed IT, branding and marketing) — targeting primarily small and medium-sized businesses that lack internal administrative departments.

Its product portfolio combines proprietary technology and partner integrations: the AvitusNet mobile and web application provides employee self-service for pay stubs, PTO, and timecards; TimeCentre handles web-based timekeeping; the Summit/iSolved-based payroll platform processes employer submissions; BSWIFT handles benefits administration; Efficient Forms (eHire) manages electronic onboarding; and Skylight One provides pay cards for unbanked employees. Co-employment engagements allow Avitus Group to become the employer of record, enabling multi-state tax reporting through a single national employee pool, aggregating purchasing power for benefits, and reducing client employer-of-record liability.

Avitus Group generates revenue primarily through recurring co-employment memberships and a la carte managed services (payroll-only, bookkeeping, recruiting, IT, marketing, tax preparation, and safety inspections), billed monthly or per-project, with service levels fully customizable from light to high touch. Distribution is predominantly direct-sales: prospects book consultations through the website (1-800-454-2446), are assigned a Member Services and Development Representative post-onboarding, and are supported by vertical specialists. The company operates as part of the VensureHR family of companies, executed three acquisitions in 2017 (The Growth Company, Technical Edge Consulting, and Layer 3 Technology), and maintains trade-association channel partnerships spanning hospitality, construction, trucking, dental, franchise, and petroleum verticals across multiple U.S. states.
